<p>Fwiw, one could write something memorable about movies and popcorn. How does this sound?</p>
<p>"There is a very old chair in our living room. It does not match the rest of the decor. Its only saving grace is that it has been in our family for many generations. The best part of my day was to open the front door. drop my backpack --homework could wait a bit-- and run to the living room. I could hear the sounds of Edith Piaf or Jacques Brel, or other unknown troubadours from the Old World. And there was my grandpa. “Tzirty zeconds for the popcorn, Princess” was all he needed to say, and I was ready to be transported to a world of film noir and unintelligible french dialogues. Along the way, I learned to look at destroyed landscapes through a different lens, and understand the eternal desire that fuels people to rebuild from ashes. /insert more details</p>
<p>One day, my cheerful entrance was met with the room’s deafening silence. The old turntable sat there. The chair was empty. And so was my heart! </p>
<p>++ Follows how the student continues to listen to music and watch foreign movies he/she finally understands! </p>
<p>The essay is NOT about the grandpa, but about the student. </p>
